[Ebm]
I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke [Db] clinging, like a gentle [Abm] cobweb
hanging upon [Bb] a fainted [Eb] teepee.
Oh [Ebm] I went to see my chieftain with my warlands and my [Eb] woman.
We told that the [Abm] yellow moon [Eb] would very soon be leaving.
[Ebm] This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our [Eb] warlord's dead.
Oh we would not leave the [Abm] chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers' guns.
Oh great [Ebm] father of the Erechwaeth, ever since I was [Eb]
young,
I've read the writing [Abm] of the snow [Eb] and breastfed on [Eb] the sound of drums.
[Ebm] Learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted [Eb] pony white.
To run the gauntlet [Abm] of the Sioux [Eb] to make a chieftain's daughter mine.
[Ebm] Now you ask that I should watch the red man's race, they're slow [Eb] and crushed.
What kind of words are these to hear?
Yellowed down for the white man's fear.

[C] [D] along with my [G] tribe's pride.
[D] I [A]
[Am] go to search [D] for the yellow moon [G] and the fathers of our son.
[C]
[G] Where the red sun [A] sinks in the hills [G] of gold and [Am] the healing [G] waters [C]
run.

Trampling [Bm] down the [Em] prairie roads, [G] [C]

It's [Em] lonely and [G] disquieting and [C] my horse soldiers are [G] coming.
And I [Am] think it's time [Bm] my strong, bad bull [C] sees me senseless [D] running.
[Em] Soon I'll find the yellow moon [C] along with my loved [G] ones.
Where [Am] the buffaloes graze in [G] the clover fields [C] without the sound of [D] guns.
And [Em] the red [D] sun sinks at last [C] to the hills of [G]
gold.
[A] And these to this [B] young warrior [C] comes with a [Em] bullet.
